So Episode VII did a LOT of fan service. If there was a way to indulge the Star Wars nerds, they did. It seemed to be Disney's promise that they weren't going to eff things up the way Eps 1-3 were. One of the fan service things was taking a riff out of the Expanded Universe books by making Han and Leia's son a convert to the dark side. In the books his name is Jacen, and he has a twin, Jaina. Also in the books, Luke has a son named Ben (Kylo Ren's given name). So I think the familial relations will end up being crucial plot points. My predictions:

-The title refers to Luke, not Rey. Luke currently IS the last Jedi, and I think this will be the story of how the Jedi are rebuilt.

-Luke will be significant to the plot somehow but won't be on screen that much because Mark Hamill's acting skills have gone even further downhill. He won't die (yet). I think the only reason they killed Han off was because Harrison Ford insisted on it.

-Leia won't die either. Her filming for VIII was supposedly done. In Ep IX it will be mentioned she's off doing something important somewhere and they'll CGI her in minimally at some point, and I will want to throw all the buckets of popcorn ever at the movie screen because I hate that isht.

-Rey is somehow related to the Skywalkers. Probably Luke's kid, not Han and Leia's. I'm gonna bet it's revealed that Kylo Ren killed Rey's mother, since in the books he kills Luke's wife.

-I have no good speculation on Snoke yet. His existence annoys me. I hope they just blow him up and call it a day. Or maybe Kylo Ren kills him in order to become The Master and take an apprentice (Finn?) and then Rey comes in and kicks their *kitten* and saves her friend.

-Rey and Kylo Ren continue to have badass lightsaber duels because, let's be honest, that's why I watch these movies. They're equals because of their genetics, and the reason why she can fight him so evenly with "minimal" training is because she grew up training with him when they were children. She learns her memory was suppressed, or something.

-There will be not be a superweapon in this episode, and the focus will be on character development and maybe a love story, similar to Ep V.

...OK I'm done. Sorry for being a nerd.

I can guarantee you one thing. Luke is not Rey's father. JJ Abrams already said Rey's parents don't appear in TFA. Maybe he's lying but I don't think so.

The highest probability of who Rey's parents are:

The force. She has a mother but she is most likely the chosen one, like Anakin. It sucks but it explains why she knew how to use the force without any training, unlike Luke.

She remembers her parents leaving, so it's unlikely.

Oh crap, did she say parents? That changes everything. Still, it's not Luke.
